Being bullied and watching you kid unravel from the incident is very difficult. At all time, social respect is a must. Your daughter needs rebuilding. Re-build her sense of self, if you can get therapy now, also do a active fight back program. By fight back I mean call the school, get the parents involved, find area's of interest for your child, consider homeschooling, and at this point in time, there are on-line schools. When classes resume, consider enrolling her into another school system. You are in a very difficult situation, your child needs to know she has the right to be respected. Bullies only bully when they have an audience, and when the power is in thier home court. Be your child's audience, protect her, she may need a friend to accompany her as she ventures out.... that may be you. She needs to know she is worth fighting for.... Great book on this is "When your child is hurting" by Dr. Kevin Lehman. It has good information. I hope this helps.

There is family counseling and children's therapy, play therapy, and it works especially well for children. You need to get help for the entire family before you create a monster child out of control. When she learns to regulate her emotion she will be happier have friends who enjoy her company instead of fear her presence. This is also a family issue. Try to re-establish home rules to compliment school and classroom rules, that will make it easier to adjust to her change of environments. Always initiate respect, kindness and self control she will need to understand natural consequences to her behavior. When she misbehaves the consequences must match the offense.
